Terrible binge day rant

Question about eating exercise calories
For the people who eat back half.. Is that in addition to your daily calorie goal? My goal is 1500. I sometimes burn 800 cals in a day. Should I be eating 1500 + 400? Or is it ok to have 1200 + 400? I ask because sometimes I have a net around 700 and I notice my weightloss has slowed down.
